The dwarf gunline

This was a more problematic miniature. I have two of these and painted the other one earlier in this project. Once I started painting this one, I discovered the primer lay on so thick, it made the details practically disappear and was almost impossible to paint. (It was already primed when I bought it.)

I stripped the miniature, trying to get the primer off. It helped, but the primer is still to thick and obscures details. I tried to make the best of it. The shield was painted to simulate battle damage.

These are the first dwarfs I bought since starting this project. They’re nog part of the army I bought 11 years ago.

My gaming club bought enough dwarf terrain to fill a game table and asked all it’s members to paint a terrain piece. I wanted to paint the brewery to try out my new copper paint (Vallejo Metal Color Copper) on the large tanks. I later discovered it was the biggest terrain piece we bought. ?

The brewery was designed by Printable Scenery and printed by one of our club members.

(Photographing such a big piece was more difficult than photographing a miniature. So the photo’s aren’t great.)

And that’s why this project is called “The Dwarf Gunline”!

The larger bases gave me more space to decorate them. I discovered autumn as a good looking and easy to achieve theme for my bases in a previous project. I added mushrooms and a tree trunk. The red and green leaves break the otherwise very brown look of these miniatures.

Actually this engineer is a crewman of a cannon. But I think he looks like an engineer with his big wrench.

All my characters have been painted. Except that I already bought another character… ?
